DJax,
I am assuming we are talking about Dallas on the ML..
It's worth noting, that their is in fact, a significant advantage that most good teams have, when playing on their homecourt..Crowd support, confidence, being just a few of many...The Mavericks are no different, they too boast a very good home record this season, at 29-9, and have played great at home, for the most part..However, the Mavs are way too inconsistent for comfort, imo..Especially for betting purposes..They are just as likely to beat the better teams in the league, as they are to lose to the lesser teams..You never really know which Mavs team will show up to play, on any given night..It has been this way, throughout the better part of the year with this team, and it makes betting on them too risky of a proposition, imo..add that in with a -330 ML, and I personally would not add them into the mix..Also worth noting, that of the Maverick's 9 losses at home this year, one of them came at the hands of the same Hornets team they will be facing tonight..a fluke? I think not...New Orleans is 6-1 SU against the Mavericks in the last 7 games these teams have played, and have beaten them twice in their building, during that span..With that being said, I do believe the Mavericks will win this game at home tonight, as New Orleans, has been struggling of late, losing 3 of their last 4 games...However, considering the inconsistent play of Dallas, the -330 ML, and the history between the 2 teams, I do not believe they are worth a wager..
However, that is my opinion..if you feel it one way or the other, trust your instincts, as it is your hard earned money that you are wagering with, and will have noone but yourself to blame if it cashes and you layoff..
Hope this helps, GL with whatever you decide
